An exchange with Melanie Phillips about Islam [She says my approach to Islam is crude and simplistic; I reply that her approach leads to surrender to Islamization. She also claims to have written that immigration, including Muslim immigration, should be stopped, which later turned out not to be true.]

Robert Spencer, call Melanie Phillips [Phillips, rejecting Spencer, Bostom, Bat Ye’or et al., buys into “moderate “islam” idea. “If, as Phillips writes, the ability of Islam to reform itself is the ‘great issue of our time,’ then it’s an open question whether Islam can reform itself. Meaning that we must make every effort to facilitate the creation of a ‘moderate Islam’ before we can come to any conclusions about whether or not such a thing is possible. And how long must we keep trying?”]

Melanie Phillips’s outrageous hypocrisy on immigration [October 2009. On the revelation that the Labour government deliberately increased immigration to unprecedented levels in order to change Britain so much that there would be no historic Britain left to defend. “As you read the article, and particularly the passages I’ve highlighted in red where Phillips expresses her shock, her shock, that Labor was using immigration to turn Britain into a multicultural society, consider the fact that Phillips herself, while constantly moaning about the Islamization of Britain and the loss of British traditions and historic identity, has never once pointed to the role of immigration in making these things happen, and has never once called for immigration to be reduced by even one immigrant per year.”]
Is cosmic Judeo-centrism good for the Jews? [October 2010. I wrote a civil e-mail to Melanie Phillips disagreeing with her statement that anti-Semitism is “the single most important and defining issue of our time,” and arguing that such extreme Judeo-centrism is harmful to the Jews. In reply she tells me that my message “is typically as ignorant as it is offensive.”]
